DOOR-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 16, 1906.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OHN H. BURKHOLDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ashland, in the county of Ashland and State of Ohio, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Door-Hangers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in door-hangers, particularly inthe provision of improved means whereby the hanger is enabled to beadjusted both vertically and laterally; and it consists in theconstruction, combination, and arrangement of devices hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of adoor-han er embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 1s a vertical sectionalview of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail horizontal sectional view taken onthe plane indicated by the line a a of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a detailvertical sectional view taken onthe plane indicated by the line b b ofFig. 1.

The hanger member 1 of my improved door-hanging devices has a verticalarm 2, and a horizontal arm 3 at the upper end of the said vertical armand which projects laterally from the rear side thereof. At the lowerend of the arm 2 isan outwardly-proj ecting lug 4, and at the outer endof the arm 3 is an upstanding lug 5. The arm 2 has a vertical channel 6in its outer side, and in the up er side of the arm 3 is a longitudinalchanne 7.

The door-plate 8 is provided near its upper corners and at its lower endwith ears 9, hav, ing openings for bolts 10, which are employed tosecure the said plate to the door. At the upper end of the said plate isa rearwardlyextending horizontal lip or flange 11 to bear on the upperedge of the door. The upper portion of the said plate is provided on itsouter side with a guide-channel 12 for the reception of the vertical arm2 of the hanger member, the sides of the said channel being providedwith inturned flanges 13 to bear against the outer sides of the arm 2,and hence retain said arm in the said channel 12, while permitting saidarm to be vertically adjusted in said channel. is an outwardly-extendingear 14.

An adjusting-bolt 15 passes through alined openings in the ears 4 and 14and serves to connect the hanger member to the plate. The head of thebolt is disposed in the channel 6 of the vertical arm of the hanger mem-At the lower end of the channel 12 ber, and the nut 16 on the bolt bearsagainst the under side of the ear 14. It will be understood that byturning said nut the hanger niember will be vertically adjusted in theate.

p In the channel of the horizontal arm 3 of the hanger member is amovable block 17, having side shoulders 18, which are engaged by flanges19 at the sides of the said channel. The said movable block has ascrew-threaded opening for the reception of an adjustingbolt 20, whichpasses through an opening in and is swiveled to the ear 5. -The saidmovable block is provided on its upper side with an eye 21 for thereception of a bolt 22, which is employed to pivotally connect the lowerend of the wheel-housing 23 to the said movable block. It will beunderstood that by turning the bolt 20 the movable block will be causedto move in the channel of the horizontal arm of the hanger member toeffect a lateral adjustment of the hanger member, the plate, and hencealso of the door.

From the fore oing description, taken in connection with t eaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inventionwill be readily understood without rcquiring a more extendedexplanation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is.

1. The combination of a plate for attachment to a door, a wheel-housing,a hangerarm having a vertical member and a horizontal member, the formerconnected to the said plate for vertical adjustment, and a movable blockattached to the wheel-housing and also connected to the horizontalmember of the hanger-arm for horizontal adjustment.

2. The combination of a plate for attachment to a door, a hanger-armconnected to said plate for vertical adjustment and having a horizontalmember, and connecting means between the wheel-housing and thehorizontal member of the hanger-arm and includin an element adjustableon said horizonta member to effect the lateral adjustment of the door.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
